Chapter 70: Walking on the Immortal Road
Chapter 70: Walking on the Immortal Road
I don’t know how long this silent explanation lasted.
Even though it was over, it took Xu Chen a long time to come back to his senses.
"Is this Shengyang?" Xu Chen said infatuatedly.
"how do you feel?"
Lee Seung-bok walked into the dojo.
"I heard it this morning~" Xu Chen silently uttered three words.
"That's good!"
"I just received a notification that Senior Sister Bai Ningxue is online and is currently challenging in the Qi and Blood Realm Immortal Path. Do you want to give it a try?"
"The Immortal Road is a road with no end. There will be various challenges along the way, and you will get some rewards after you pass them."
"It suits you very well. Do you want to go?"
"Then let's go and take a look." Xu Chen nodded.
Li Chengfu lightly pointed at the void, and a curtain of light appeared in front of him.
There was a map on the light curtain, with the names of various places densely marked on it.
After some operations on the light curtain, a teleportation array appeared in front of the two.
The two stepped onto the teleportation array and were directly teleported to a boundless square made of white jade tiles.
There are various small portals densely packed in the square.
"There is no portal with spiritual light on that can lead to the Immortal Path."
Just as Li Chengfu was speaking, a strange voice suddenly sounded in their minds.
"I have been too absorbed in the human world. The time for celebrating the birthday of the Wei family's ancestor is almost here. We can come back when we have the chance."
Li Chengfu said as he placed a hand on Xu Chen's shoulder.
Instantly, both of them regained consciousness.
Just at this moment the sun was rising, and a ray of morning light shone on Xu Chen.
“So warm~”
At this moment, Xu Chen only felt that his body was like a dry sponge, madly absorbing the morning light.
"Isn't it necessary to enter the gate to see the Holy Sun Treasure Body?"
Xu Chen couldn't help but find a place with plenty of morning light to sit down cross-legged.
"How long is left until the birthday of the Wei family ancestor?" Li Chengfu asked the guard next to him.
"One hour is the time for the Wei family's in-laws to pay homage to the ancestor." The guard said respectfully.
"Then wait."
Xu Chen's body quickly absorbed the sunlight, as if his entire soul was bathing in the sunlight.
I don’t know how long it took, but I felt that my energy and blood were replenished.
"Is there any delay?" Xu Chen slowly opened his eyes.
"There's still a quarter of an hour left. We'll still make it." Li Chengfu, who was sitting not far away, said slowly.
"That's good!"
After the two of them went out, there was already an animal cart waiting nearby.
As soon as they got on the animal cart, the guards driving the cart began to swing the whip in their hands.
The animal cart launched directly and the five-mile journey took less than a cup of tea.
At this time, the gate of the Wei family was filled with guests, and the main members of the Wei family greeted every guest with joy on their faces.
Li Chengfu brought Xu Chen down from the animal cart, and a member of the main branch of the Wei family immediately came over from a distance.
When he saw Li Chengfu, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Young Master Li, I didn't expect you to come today. The old ancestor will be very happy to know." The head of the Wei family expressed his respect for Li Chengfu and the people behind him.
"You're too polite. According to seniority, I should call you uncle."
"My parents and elder brother are far away in the Renhuang Continent and can't come back, so they asked me to come here to congratulate them."
A red space wooden box for gifts appeared in Li Chengfu's hand. "This is the birthday gift my parents asked me to give to our ancestor. I wish our ancestor good luck and may he enter the realm of immortality soon."
Li Chengfu's words were flawless.
Xu Chen stood behind Li Chengfu, like a nobody, and kept recalling the contents of the letter from his parents, wondering whether there was any birthday gift.
The head of the Wei family respectfully took the red space gift box with both hands, and walked to the main living room of the Wei family compound with Li Chengfu and Xu Chen.
Only the main branch of the Wei family and important guests can be here.
Since they arrived late, the seats were already full.
When the two of them came over, there was a new table at the Wei family's side, and only Li Chengfu and Xu Chen sat there.
Xu Chen looked at the main living room. It felt like someone who came to a wedding banquet without giving any gifts and was prepared to eat and drink for free was brought to the C seat for dinner.
"When the relatives by marriage come to pay their respects to the ancestor of the Wei family, we will go over to pay our respects, and then we will be done after the banquet." Li Chengfu said softly to Xu Chen.
"Okay, I didn't expect that I could become the center by following you." Xu Chen said with a smile.
"Hehe, this is a bit of a relative relationship. Next time something like this happens, I'll take you out to eat and drink for free." Li Chengfu smiled.
At this time, Xu Chen looked at the guests around him. He could feel that most of the guests in the main living room had already embarked on the path of immortality.
This is the square outside the main living room. The ancestor of the Wei family appeared. Li Chengfu and Xu Chen also left the main living room and watched from the periphery of the square.
The ancestor of the Wei family, dressed in a Taoist robe, has a childlike face and white hair. Although his attitude is kind, his eyes make people feel that this ancestor has been on the battlefield for a long time and has a deep understanding of killing.
This was the first time Xu Chen met the ancestor of the Wei family.
The ancestor of the Wei family gave an opening speech, telling of the glory of the Wei family over the years, and then thanked the guests for coming.
After the event was completed, the main branch of the Wei family went to visit the ancestor to celebrate his birthday.
Then came the Wei family’s side branches, and finally the Wei family’s in-laws.
After Xu Chen and Li Chengfu celebrated the birthday together with the team of relatives by marriage, they returned to the dining table to prepare for the feast.
"After all, it's not the fate of a pig's trotter."
Xu Chen sighed inwardly. If it were the protagonist, he would definitely be looked down upon by the Wei family first, then by the in-laws, and finally the protagonist would stand up and start to slap others in the face.
"It went so smoothly in a weird way."
Xu Chen kept this thought until the food was served and his uncle, who was also his mother's eldest brother, appeared in front of him.
"Chen'er."
When Xu Chen heard someone calling him by his nickname, he was stunned at first, then he realized that he was being called.
"Uncle." Xu Chen stood up and bowed.
"No need to get up, just sit down."
"After the birthday banquet is over, go sit with your uncle. I haven't seen you for a long time." Wei Chaoqing looked at Xu Chen with the kind and caring smile that only an elder can show.
"Okay, uncle." Xu Chen nodded.
Wei Chaoqing left and Li Chengfu moved closer to Xu Chen.
"How is your relationship with your uncle?" Li Chengfu asked curiously.
"My uncle has never said more than one word to me in a year."
"Thanks to you, I can now combine three words a year."
He is not a child. His uncle must have received some news and came to the main living room to find him.
"That's good. Maybe I can make up for the lack of family love for you over the years." Li Chengfu had a smile in his eyes.
"That's great. I'll treat you to a meal when I return to the sect."
At this time, the dishes were being served in the main living room. The aroma of each dish made people drool, but Xu Chen didn't dare to pick up his chopsticks.
I’m afraid that I might be overwhelmed by a certain dish.
"The dishes on our table are specially prepared by the chef. A large amount of spiritual energy has been extracted from them. They can also be eaten by people in the Qi and Blood Realm."
"Eat. If you can't finish it, take it away."
Hearing Li Chengfu's words, Xu Chen's eyes lit up.
Just pick up the chopsticks and start showing off.
